Fink Angel Caldari The Merry Men	Posted - 2008.09.25 13:19:00 - [31] CCP Headquarters, ex broom cupboard, yesterday ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za6T4DaYmrU "Blink. Blink. I don't know what that means. Look, there it goes again."
Haradgrim Tyrell Corp INTERDICTION	Posted - 2008.09.25 13:40:00 - [32] I hate to be the one to point it out, but in a silent auction you do get to see other people's bids. They are written down as a list and anyone who bids must bid a minimum over the last bid. The term "silent" refers to the fact that it is not a live auction, in every other way it is the same. Usually there is a time when the auction is set to close that the last bid written is the one that take it. This usually leads to a number of people standing over the list and trumping each other's bids at the last minute until the attendant takes it away from them! The process that CCP is using is refered to as a "blind auction" and is generally used for the sale or commercial real estate or securities. -- Originally by: CCP Oveur ...every forum whine feels like a baby pony is getting killed

Yes we do, there is that room up on the fourth floor, next to the bathrooms. That room does not contain any brooms, buckets, mops, detergent, sponges, rags, windex, marigold gloves or other cleaning implements. I think it got turned into a network switch room, judging by the amount of blinking lights, multicoloured cables and hamster food. And these are the people giving the TOUR?!?!?!
Lyn Quan Caldari State War Academy	Posted - 2008.09.25 14:51:00 - [34] Originally by: Vimir Gilixite And these are the people giving the TOUR?!?!?! No the CEO will give the tour. Probably with assistance of the building plan. Learn to read.

Wrong again, the room you are referring to is in the same corridor though Childsplay for the win!!! ------------------ Originally by: CCP PrismX Obviously this reply does not constitute a promise to do anything but I'd like to see the discussion take off and see opinions from both sides.

Ricdic Caldari	Posted - 2008.09.25 14:58:00 - [36] I don't like the design. I would rather see something such as $1 buys you a single ticket. You can buy as many tickets as you like. One ticket number is drawn and that ticket holder gets the trip. This allows a lot more people to donate. I can't afford to blow over $1000 USD however I could afford $10-20 or so. I figure 500 people paying $15 is worth more than one person paying $3000

Also, is this Tanis Alliance wardeccable?

CCP Whisper	Posted - 2008.09.25 15:49:00 - [41] Oh! You meant this broomcloset with blinking lights? I totally forgot we had that one...

Cailais Amarr VITOC	Posted - 2008.09.25 16:09:00 - [42] Originally by: CCP Whisper Oh! You meant this broomcloset with blinking lights? I totally forgot we had that one... Ah so that's where Oveurs been hiding... The blinking lights no doubt a part of a complex internal distillery system. C. Originally by: Tarminic Your continued whining is somewhat diminished by your continued willingness to give your money to CCP.
Treelox Amarr Market Jihadist Revolutionary Party	Posted - 2008.09.25 16:16:00 - [43] Will the tour be including a quick swim in the new 2000 gallon fish tank? If it does I promise not to bring my spear gun, in an attempt to catch lunch. --

Avalloc GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.09.27 01:01:00 - [46] Last year's auction winner is a Goon too. How's that for a twist on typical Goon behavior? ;)
Chainsaw Plankton IDLE GUNS IDLE EMPIRE	Posted - 2008.09.27 06:54:00 - [47] heh Wish I had the kind of money to even go to fanfest at this point. never mind a $1000 opening bid for a tour but hey I'm not poor and have enough to get by and then some extra, so I'm happy. but it is for a good cause and yay for ccp being a corporate sponsor of child's play would love to be the winning bidder, maybe someday

How's that for a twist on typical Goon behavior? ;) As I recall, you used the opportunity to choke Zulupark. We have pictures. That is what made it typical Goon behavior. (I still <3 you, Av.) For those of you attending Fanfest on a budget that prevents you from being able to try for the office tour, remember that there is a wide variety of less expensive items that you can bid on. Nav and Applebabe have done a tremendous job "sack dragging" (as we say in the South) to find some really good stuff. Valerie "Pann" Massey CCP PR & Communications Director [email protected]

F'nog Amarr Celestial Horizon Corp. Celestial Industrial Alliance	Posted - 2008.09.29 06:36:00 - [50] I think it's a very noble cause, but also demonstrates CCP's general attention to detail (note, it's not that great). A normal silent auction would show what people have bid so that others may compete to their liking. This is just a blind auction where we don't know how well we're doing. It works great for Child's Play, but isn't really fair for those wanting to cough up their money for the chance and to help out charity. If the first bid is $1M, then everyone who bids under it, most people, are just wasting their time. This can lead to unnecessary frustration. If someone bids a big sum, everyone who wants to compete should know this, so they can know that they're outbid and not have to bother trying. Everybody wins: the charity gets a nice, substantial, donation, and the losers don't waste their time "competing" and don't have to agonize while they wait to see if they've won. To me, this is just CCP doing the least possible work. A little bit of effort could have inspired people to compete and enjoy the competition, knowing that they're trying to benefit those in need.
